I have had a cold for the last few days and have been feeling rotten and this little cutie came just in time to brighten my week-end! I won this from Sharlotte . Isn't it darling! I love the lace. Can't wait for Spring. We have over 70" of the white stuff and we are predicted to get about 12-18" over Tuesday and Wednesday. Really, enough is enough! I pulled out Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow and finished the first square (which was 3/4 of the way done) and started the 2 nd square. It's fun to do but it's so large that I will be doing other things in between the squares. It's done on 36 ct. Flax with VC silks. All the pic's are click able for a better view. Another little finish for Spring. Spring Blooms by SB. The empty square will have a sheep button in it. It will be made into a pillow if I can ever get to the fabric store and then to Cheryl's. It won't be this week. I thought that I would end with a picture of S ammi . She is on my lap be...

I did Dog Rules for Joannne for Christmas. It was done on 32ct Natural linen over one. She works in a cubical and didn't have alot of room, so it needed to be small. I stitched the dog to look like Sammi. I have had alot of time to stitch because of the really awful weather. It snowed yesterday and it's snowing now (another 6-19 inches) and it's going to snow on Saturday. Really, could we have more fun. to This is my latest pin cushion. The design is BBD done 32 ct bittersweet linen using baked apple floss. The beaded fringe is really much prettier in person than the picture shows. The color is lovely. I really, really love it. Not as much as pom-pom fringe, but close. The draw back is that it had to be done by hand. As always, Cheryl came through and did it for me. But she did say never again! It was a pain in the butt. I do love it. You can click on the photo's to get a larger view. This is My Valentine by BBD finished. I am having a hard time finding the right fra...

I won a great giveaway from October Farm blog. My other passion is cooking. October Farm is a wonderful blog that has great recipes. The basket I won is full of dip mixes, cookies and alot of chocolate. The cookies and the chocolate are from all over the world and really quite delicious. Thanks alot for the wonderful goodies. Snow Garden was stretched and put into my pop it in and out frame. I like it better now. I have been asked about the frame. Below is a picture. I just move the clips and slide the pictures in and out. These types of frames work out great for series that are the same size. I store the pieces that aren't in the frame in plastic bags in a container. This is daffodils in another in and out frame. February is in the same frame below. I love this series by PS. I am almost finished with April, which is my favorite so far. I spent the day with Cheryl. Instead of getting ready for another 12-16 inches of snow, we decided to go looking for flower frogs. And find th...

This is my first post for the TUSAL. I don't really like this jar so I will be on the look out for something different. These are my ort's from the 2 projects I have finished this year. I did this little pillow by PMD because I needed instant gratification. I do think that it is really cute and cheerful. Something I am not always drawn to. I could have center it better, now that Iam looking at the picture. Oh well. I had hoped to finish this before the New Year but that didn't happen. I spent New Year's Eve having Chinese food with Joanne, stitching and watching the ball drop. It was quiet and just the way I like it. On Saturday we had friends over for dessert and we exchanged Christmas gifts. It was a fun afternoon with really good cake. Back to Daffodils, I love this series by PS. I have all that she has designed so far and think that I will continue working on them. They are all being done 32 ct Lambswool jobelan with the suggested DMC. I have a frame that I pop t...
